Morals in Wartime is a comprehensive book written by Victor Robinson, which explores the ethical dilemmas and moral challenges faced by soldiers, civilians, and leaders during times of war. The book is divided into three sections: a general survey of moral principles throughout history, an analysis of the moral issues in the First World War, and a discussion of the moral challenges of the Second World War.In the first section, Robinson provides an overview of moral principles throughout history, including the teachings of major religions and the writings of philosophers. He examines the concept of just war and the ethical considerations that arise when nations engage in armed conflict.The second section of the book focuses on the First World War and the moral dilemmas faced by soldiers and civilians. Robinson examines issues such as the use of chemical weapons, the treatment of prisoners of war, and the morality of civilian casualties.In the final section of the book, Robinson discusses the moral challenges of the Second World War, including the Holocaust and the use of atomic weapons. He also examines the role of propaganda and the impact of war on civilian populations.Overall, Morals in Wartime provides a thought-provoking analysis of the ethical issues that arise during times of war. Robinson's insights and observations are relevant not only to the historical events he discusses but also to contemporary conflicts and the ongoing debates about the morality of war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
